Hello Larisia,

I'll jump in here cause I've got some first hand
experience.  I play 2 man beach volleyball and saw my
game plummet into the basement when I went very low
carb.  After a year or so of punishment I started
carbing up again and immediately went back to my
former level.

My one non-paleo cheat, aside from occasional cheese,
is the brown rice I eat prior to my twice weekly vball
matches.  For a long time I used bananas and grapes
but found the rice to be far superior.  With the fruit
I start to conk out after an hour and a half or so.
The rice keeps me going longer.

If you want to stay completely paleo and continue to
avoid the rice I think your best alternative is
bananas, but I think you give something up when you go
that route.  I guess it's all about priorities.


Mark
